Are you taking advantage of Endeavour eBooks?

During April, the campus libraries and learning centres will be providing classes or drop in sessions to show you how to access and make great use of our eBooks.

We are constantly adding to our eBook collection. In March, besides the 100 Credo Reference titles, we also purchased 30 individual titles related to our main teaching areas. All titles are listed on the eLibrary catalogue and can also be found through the Discovery Search.

Information on eBooks related to different subjects are scattered throughout LibGuides both in the Subject Guides and How to Use.. sections.  

If you're browsing the library shelves and have a smart phone, try reading the QR tags attached to the different modality dividers. They will give you a list of ebook titles for that particular modality.

Use Credo Reference to kick-start your research

Logon (via LibGuides) to Credo Reference to search 100 internationally recognised reference books. Individual titles can also be found on the eLibrary catalogue. The titles are predominantly medical but there's a good cross section of other disciplines as well.

Start your research by:
  • finding definitions
  • gaining an overall understanding of concepts
  • identifying a range of relevant keywords for further searching the online databases.
